Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▲7%; Now £5.1m
Cash at bank: ▼100%; Now £0
Headcount: ▼31%; Now 9
Deferred income: ▼16%; Now £318k
Fixed assets: ▼78%; Now £5.9k

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
